Polar 115 ED 1999 hydraulic system

[USACUSTOMPAD]

Can anyone with experience working on these tell me what should be replaced? See attached video. Resulting in the clamp not coming down when the foot pedal is pressed. The problem is worse now then when video was taken so I suspect faster more significant leak where the one in the video is shown. The company that has serviced our knives tends to overcharge and do a lot of guess work so seeking help here. we are in southern tier NYS.

No error codes. Operates as it should other than the clamp barely responding to the foot pedal.

Check there is no lateral float on foot pedal, fixing coupling sometimes works loose so when plastic wedge is pushing pin into hydraulics, it moves left not pushing properly

Yeah. Covered there, even when the pin is depressed manually there is no response.
